[lxml-dev] Can't build lxml sources - failure to link - Windows

[Robert Dailey]

Stefan,

Thank you very much for your reply. The articles you linked to me are an
interesting read, however I don't feel like they solve my problem. Perhaps
I'm a little bit confused on what the articles are suggesting. I'm still
stuck on what to do to fix this problem. In fact, I don't even know what the
problem is to begin with. I had a hard time relating my problems to the
topics discussed in the linked articles. Any further assistance would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks again for your reply.
